Relocation of files due to macOS upgrade

I've read a number of Q&As on the issue of relocated files follow macOS upgrade. Direction is provided to the User/Shared/Relocated folders, but I cannot locate any files in these folders. There are seven, the first six marked 'Previously Relocated Items' 1-6, and the most recent one marked 'Relocated Items'. The only files in these folders is 'Configuration' (Library and Private containing no files), and 'Security', with a pdf explainer. Please help me...I've appear to have lost years of work!!!
